A further object thereof is to produce a hose supporter attached at one end to the front o1"- a corset and at the opposite end-to the back thereof, hayu ing an intermediate sliding connection with a clip attached to the top of the hose whereby the supporter adjusts its position and relation to the hose attachment in the various postures ot the body of the wearer. eine other object of my invention is to produce a hose supporter comprising a leXible sus pender, a portion of which is longitudinally adjustable and made of elastic material, one end of which is attached to 'the bach of a corset and the opposite end being removably' attachable to the front thereof, lthus :torming a loop having a swinging and sliding conn nection with the top of the hose to retain a tension thereon at all times;and a still tur? .ther object of my invention is to produce a more siuiole, cheap, and etiicient device of the chagracter described than has heretotore been attained.

n the accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters indicate similar parts,

Figure l is a side View ot-my device in use Fig. 2 is a- :tront View thereof; and
